Question

drag and drop the words or phrases that best complete the paragraph. blank eclipses occur when the sun, earth and moon are blank. during a lunar eclipse, the blank blocks the sun’s light, placing the blank in its shadow. these eclipses can be partial or blank and can be seen from any part of the earth experiencing blank at that moment. options: nighttime, solar, lunar, earth, total, aligned, moon, daytime.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each blank based on lunar eclipse knowledge:

1. First blank: The paragraph is about lunar eclipses, but the first part introduces eclipses. Wait, no—wait, the first blank is the type? Wait, no, the first sentence: "__ eclipses occur when the Sun, Earth and Moon are __." Wait, no, the second sentence is "During a lunar eclipse...", so the first blank should be "Lunar"? Wait, no, let's re-examine. Wait, the options: "Lunar" for the first blank? Wait, no, let's list the blanks:

Blank 1: Type of eclipse. The second sentence is "During a lunar eclipse...", so the first sentence is about lunar eclipses? Wait, no, maybe the first blank is "Lunar"? Wait, no, let's check the options. The options for the first blank: possible words are "Lunar", "solar", etc. Wait, the second sentence is "During a lunar eclipse, the ____ blocks the Sun’s light...". In a lunar eclipse, Earth is between Sun and Moon, so Earth blocks Sun’s light, casting shadow on Moon. So:

1. First blank: "Lunar" (type of eclipse).
2. Second blank: "aligned" (Sun, Earth, Moon must be aligned).
3. Third blank: "Earth" (Earth blocks Sun’s light in lunar eclipse).
4. Fourth blank: "Moon" (Moon is in Earth’s shadow).
5. Fifth blank: "total" (eclipses can be partial or total).
6. Sixth blank: "nighttime" (lunar eclipses are visible at night).

Let’s fill each blank:

1. First blank: Lunar (type of eclipse: Lunar eclipses occur when...).
2. Second blank: aligned (Sun, Earth, Moon must be in a straight line/aligned).
3. Third blank: Earth (In lunar eclipse, Earth is between Sun and Moon, so Earth blocks Sun’s light).
4. Fourth blank: Moon (Moon is placed in Earth’s shadow).
5. Fifth blank: total (eclipses can be partial or total).
6. Sixth blank: nighttime (Lunar eclipses are visible during nighttime on Earth’s night side).

So the filled blanks (in order) are: Lunar, aligned, Earth, Moon, total, nighttime.
